Paolo fromTOKYO Paolo and Maiko, you guys rock! You have the best travel to Japan videos. So much detail! The map helps so much and it's downloadable! You spell things and names out and give links and directions. So efficient! My BF also subscribed to your KZbin channel! I am going to get my travel friends to subscribe too. You're the best! I've seen other Asakusa videos but yours is the most detailed and showed a lot more than other videos. I love you guys!

[@CcPhantastic]

Is there a link to English website for the lunch cruise? Where do you buy the tickets? What’s the price for adults and young children? Is there a lot of waves sea sickness?

[@alvintrinidad4388]

Hey we just got in last night from Seattle. Will try to follow most of ur guide. Cross our finger we know will enjoy this.

[@jonrivera]

9:37 Bless that older gentleman in the back who nodded at the camera ^^

[@wendymail7876]

[@tokyonow7833]

[@Arycke]

Wow you have been on KZbin for a long time!!

[@UFOHunterNikki]

Dude I absolutely love your enthusiasm and I laughed out loud when you kept referring to the flame as a golden turd. I have to plan a two week trip around Tokyo and I was so overwhelmed by it, but your video made me feel so much better because you have showed me so many fun things to do just in Asakusa. The boat trip looks incredible at night.

[@azsakamoto4582]

Lol i laughed too

[@shyimacandy]

its really great that u include the halal food available :) really love your energy when u make your video :D love from Malaysia.

[@martinnguyen5690]

[@ByeByeButterfree]

Paolo, your enthusiasm makes your videos so fun to watch, and makes it easy to get excited about all the cool things Asakusa has to offer! Planning our first trip to Tokyo, Japan 2 years from now, and look forward to learning so much from your videos! Arigatou Gozaimasu!

[@hotscoop]

Hi Paolo. Your videos are a life saver for first timer like us planning to Tokyo in a very tight Budget & Time. So looking forward this coming November to experience it ourselves. Thank you so much!

[@katez7855]

This is a great recommendation/introduction list ! We did/visited about 70% of things in the video (it’s a Tuesday so not everything was opened), all of them are exceeded the expectations. We even went back to the karaage shop for a second round! Thanks Paolo !!!

[@tanpanama-ur1re]

[@erinstravels]

Thank you for this fun, super-helpful video! I was trying to decide whether to stay in Asakusa and your video convinced me.

[@aleffush]

Thanks for the Halal heads up, great video as usual Paolo!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks alef fush!

[@MrsSasukeUchiha]

I enjoy watching your videos... I feel more confident... about planning a trip to Japan... for myself and daughter... thank you🤗🤗🤗

[@lastrapsbaseball]

As with Paolo's other Asakusa video, I followed the Tokyo Zebra's footsteps! Well worth it!! #1 - The street food at Nakimise was plentiful and fresh to eat. There are too many things to cover, but it is great to try. As I was there over the New Year, closer to the temple there are a lot of food shops that pop up for the festivities and is an extension of the Nakimise strip. #2 Sensoji - is a pretty cool temple. Worth the exploration of the grounds around it. #3 Side Streets - I agree with Paolo, the shutter art on the businesses when closed is pretty cool. Worth and early morning or after hours look. #5 Sumida Park - I bet in the summer it is cool, or in spring with Cherry Blossoms, winter it can be a bit chilly with wind off the water. #6 Monja Lunch - it was cool. Menu in Japanese, but pictures show you how to do the lunch. The two ladies who worked there were awesome, and helped me out as it was my first time. They were really cool. I ordered the Mantaiko Special and was not disappointed. #7 Asahi Beer - When you go up, you have to order a beer to get the view. No line like SkyTree, but it is pretty cool. View is great. First time I ever had an Asahi Super Dry and was very impressed. I enjoyed the directions that and places Paolo suggested. I think you should follow the same route too!! Thanks!!

[@TSuzuhara]

Yayyyy! Thank you, Paolo!

[@jalico3161]

Leaving for Japan in 2 weeks, I've been binging all of your videos!

[@i0001w]

His video are the best, ( which him only ) and don't wast you time with other

[@lovi9258]

same only for me it's a few days ^-^

[@Kakibot]

I loooove asakusa, I could just keep going there forever! I think my favourite thing is that at night it's quiet but there's still so much to see (and do! Jazz bars! Donki!) . But I never knew one could go to the Asahi building?! Also, good to see the golden poop has been unveiled again .D my sister was very sad last autumn when they were... um... polishing it? .DDD

[@Crunchyconservativemamma]

Dude when I sit down to watch your videos I need a snack cause like...woooo you make me sooo hungry lol haha

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks for watching NICOLE SWACKHAMER!

[@Crunchyconservativemamma]

Xo.. just got here. Trying to find something fun to do tonight ...watching your videos.

[@SkScarlet]

My god, You are being my hero right now Paolo. Planning this trip is so much easier with your recommendations. Thank you!!

[@hisloveiseternal1]

Love your informative videos and energy!! ♥️🙌🏻

[@fenella17]

Thanks Paolo for ur all the informative sharing~ keep on with the sweet and happy smile

[@nelyozaki7148]

Paolo, your videos are awesome and so helpful when we need to search some Japanese topic! I would like to suggest you show how to rent a bike (the public ones) by tourist. Keep posting!

[@X3000Chan]

I've been to Asakusa a few times, and this was a really comprehensive list! I've done several of these the things you mentioned, but you also pointed out several I didn't know, so thanks!⛩

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Awesome! Glad you found the info useful KuroNeko! Which places didn't you know about?

[@tinycyc]

binge watch all these videos to plan my solo trip can't wait :)

[@victallud7796]

This is so cool!!! Waiting for the dinner cruise video... Thanks Paulo for your vids.

[@jrtlove]

Hi Paolo, love the channel. I have been watching it for the past month as I’m gearing up to visit Tokyo in a few days. I saw on the Asakusa Culture Center that there will be a Geisha performance next weekend on 10th - tickets are passed out for free on same day at 10am, so first come first serve. Hope you see you and Meiko there also.

[@thomasboughtwood1462]

Thanks so much for all of your videos Paulo. They've really helped me plan my trip to Japan!

[@werdnawee]

Can't believe we just missed you, Paolo. We were at Asakusa on Monday 9th April...ARGH!!!

[@Gantorin]

I am new to your channel, and I have 8 days until I fly out to Tokyo. My first real trip out of my country or anywhere really. I have been binge watching your videos like netflix. It is a lot to take in, but I am doing my best to make my experience the best I can get it. Thanks for all the pointers you give... You are truly helping me plan.

[@GomezBro]

You are #1 for information now bro. Honestly, if I go to Japan again, I will hit you up!! Izakaya time bro!! haha

[@GomezBro]

Paolo your'e awesome bro!! So happy and positive!! :)

I ate one strawberry daifuku in the alleyway! I loved it!

[@jclovesyousomuch]

I am so glad you made this video. Thanks Paolo!

[@kenken02]

Watching this while sitting on the curb in front of the jr expressway bus drinking a random tasteless carbonated Canada Dry the I just happen to try out from the vending machine. Tokyo is great!

[@RinaReen]

I'm leaving for Japan this weekend. All of your videos have been very helpful and have served as a guide to my trip. Thank you so much!

[@selenaflores7586]

CANT WAIT FOR THAT TOKYO CRUISE VIDEO. 楽しそう!

[@minkdevil]

My favorite place in Tokyo! Was just here last week to see the sakura :) Our hotel was 3 minute walk from the temple so we spent every day around the temple and nakamise dori. We would get up really early in the morning at like 4am and walk around the temple grounds, it was perfect :)

[@briyawnuh]

The hostel I stay at in Tokyo is in Asakusa, about 4 blocks from the shrine. It's one of my favorite neighborhoods in Tokyo. The food is great, it's super walkable, and wandering around the shrine grounds at night is one of the most peaceful things you'll experience.

[@Alpha-xt6ow]

Bri. What is the hotel’s name please

[@briyawnuh]

Alpha 88 sorry I just saw this. It's Khaosan World Asakusa!

great Asakusa Itinerary.. very unique compared to others

[@astroboy3507]

[@bomenorange.]

Nice video, I have a suggestion for you, can you do a full tour plan like a list for foreign tourists, naming all the parks, cafes, shops and restaurants, with maps hot to get there, for Tokyo only, and you can put it up for sale if you want. Because it’s so hard for me to note down all the information I gather online, not to mention the routes.

[@zebrastrippesable]

Hey Paolo :-) Keep smiling YAY!

[@iSeeTicks]

Great Vid and love the maps. Saved all the tips for my trip in July and i will just pop out your map as a guide.
